Untreated acute allergic reaction is a life-threatening situation because its symptoms can progress quickly. The most dangerous is the Anaphylaxis. It can be triggered by drugs, food, or injections, which a person may experience itching, swelling, difficulty in breathing, panic, and collapse. The worse is cardiac arrest when not treated immediately.  Moreover, a prolonged illness may also develop as its late phase such as severe asthma.

How is ADP converted to ATP?
denis23 [38]

Answer: ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) is a lower energy molecule, which is converted to ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) by the addition of one high energy phosphate group.

This is an endergonic process as it requires energy.

ATP thus formed in this reaction is a high energy molecule as it stores large amount of energy, which is present in the phosphoanhydride bond ( formed between phosphate).

The reaction can be written as-

ADP + Pi → ATP

Define
n = number of seeds planted.
k = number of seeds that successfully become plants.

The probability of making a profit is
p =50% = 0.5
Therefore the probability of not makng a profit is
q = 1 - p = 0.5

According to the binomial distribution, the probability of k successes out of n trials is
P(k \, of \, n) = _{n}C_{k}\,p^{k} q^{n-k} \\ where \\ _{n}C_{k} = \frac{n!}{k! (n-k)!}

Create a table as shown below by using the graphing calculator.

  n      k   P(k of n)
----  -----  ------------
  4      2    0.375
  8      4    0.273
 10     5    0.246
  12    6    0.226
  16    8    0.196
  20  10    0.176
  50  25   0.0.112
 100  50   0.08

A graph of this table shows that the probability of success i below 0.5 (50%) for all practical values of n (the number of seeds planted).

Answer: The farmer will lose money.

Answer:

D. chromosomes of every cell.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are the main holding organelles that contain genetic information. All cells have a set of 46 chromosomes (that is depending on certain people). In these chromosomes, a certain number contains the genetic code for hair color. Therefore, we know that chromosomes are present in every cell and have genetic information about hair color and many other things.
